Popis: The effects of radiation on spacecraft materials and electronic devices are directly related to the energy transferred by incident particles to the components (atoms, orbiting electrons and nuclei) of the matter encountered. Such events result in the formation of electron hole pairs and point defects (interstitials, vacancies) which, in turn, give rise to macroscopic damages. Induced secondary radiations (prompt or delayed emission) add their effects to those produced by primary incident particles.
